And since I was determined to get a few shots from Glacier Point, I braved the rain and cold to take a few pictures of my kids... who I forced to brave the rain and cold as well...

Here's Half Dome

Yosemite Falls


Then we rewarded the kids by letting them have a SNOW FIGHT!!!


Marlie's such a girly girl... even when getting hit by a snow ball! LOL

Then Haven was the dutiful big brother and stood still, allowing Marlie to get one good snow ball hit on him.

On the drive back I wanted to stop at a vista point where we had seen a snowy field. As we were pulling over, we noticed what we thought was a wild dog but quickly realized it was a coyote. The car that was leaving was throwing food scraps at it. Idiots.

He let me get surprisingly close to him. No I did not try and touch him! I will remind you he is a cousin of the dog and I do not touch dogs. Now if it was a bobcat, I'd be writing this from a hospital bed because I'd totally try to approach that little kitteh.
These are the shots I got of the snowy area. Not sure if I like them or not.


As we were leaving, the coyote was very disappointed we did not feed him. Hey, not-so-smart coyote, get out of the road! No, we're not going to feed you.

And as we drove away, we saw the coyote's true stripes. He is a straight up attention hog. Up on the snow bank, giving the begging eyes to every car that passed. SMH. That is such a sad comment on the stupidity of humans, that people would feed a wild animal like that.

Though if that was a bobcat, I totally would've thrown him a hot dog. This is my blog. I'm allowed to have double standards.

How cool that you got such great photos of the coyote - and there were people feeding him? Crazy!! We have a pack of coyotes that live in our neighborhood - they are quite a nuisance!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, the views are quite stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos! Believe it or not this is the first time I truly see a coyote and I must say, I am a bit disappointed. I thought he would look less like a dog but to me it just looks cute. Coincidentally, this week I saw my first photo of a bobcat, who also looks like a bigger kitty and super cute. Which puts the final nail in the coffin that I will never go camping or on a hike because I WILL be eaten by a wild animal within the first hours of my adventure.
